This work is part of a series of photographs that originated from chats with men and women whom the artist met online, using alias names, and who agreed to her request to meet face to face. Heiman intended on photographing her subjects during these meetings, staging intimate, although not always romantic, situations. The degree of exposure in these images is directly related to the interaction built up during these encounters. There are no hopes of a romantic relationship in these meetings. The people photographed have no past and no future, only the experience exists. This extreme situation examines the conflict between anonymity and intimacy, imagination and reality.
